The Importance of Pit Stops in Formula One
F1 pit stops are an essential part of an F1 Grand Prix. In a dry race, drivers must pit to change those tires. Drivers can also pit if their cars are damaged. Some bits of bodywork like broken front wing can be replaced quickly at a pitstop.

We're going to talk about everything that happens during a pitstop and who makes up the pit crew later on.
